<p>What is the general concensus on step-parents on college applications? My stepdaughter is a SR and will be filling out her applications soon. When the school asks for parents information, should she list her biological father? He's basically out of the picture, and has been for the past 6 years, and she does consider me her "dad". She's a first generation college student and I have a BS, so she shouldn't list me as her parent and be listing my college experience, right? Some of the applications address this by having a spot for step-parents, and some do not. Most of the ones she's looked at so far are not very clear though. Is this a topic for a question with each school's Admissions Dept? At schools that will give her a bump for being first gen, I don't want to mess that up.</p>
